Semaglutide is a 31-amino-acid analogue of human GLP-1 with roughly 94% sequence homology to the native hormone. Two substitutions (Aib at position 8 and Arg at position 34) confer resistance to DPP-4 degradation, while a C18 diacid chain attached at Lys26 through a hydrophilic linker drives strong albumin binding. Together these modifications extend the circulating half-life to approximately one week, making it a central reference compound in incretin and energy-balance research.
